    I have a new network in a linux server, but the workstations are in
    win2000, and I am having problems with the mobile profiles (movable
    profiles). When a user stars acad it works ok, but when tries to enter
    again it says that doesn't find the configuration file. I don't know
    waht the problem could be.

    Any help would be appreciated

  2. Hi Luis,

    Type %USERPROFILE% in an explorer address window when the user that is
    having trouble is logged in. Note the path that comes up.

    Open Regedit and browse to
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R16.1\ACAD-xxx:xxx.

    There will be several paths in this key including "LocalRootFolder", and
    "RoamableRootFolder".

    If the path of the current user is different from the settings stored in
    those registry keys, then the simplest fix is usually to erase the entire
    ACAD-xxx:xxx registry key. The next time you start AutoCAD you will see
    "Installing AutoCAD...", and it will add that entire key back with the
    correct settings. Keep in mind that you will have to re-configure any
    custom path or autocad settings that have been changed since the initial
    install.

    Also, if using some kind of Roaming or Mobile profiles, you may need to
    exclude the "LocalRootFolder" folder from being saved on the network or
    erased from the local drive. That is usually where the ACAD2005.CFG file
    is stored.
